Fighting Game or Other Tournament...can we make a comeback?

So, I'm thinking best 3/5's in both matches and rounds, and to mix it up more, maybe you can't use the same character more than once or twice.

I'm open for suggestions.

I dunno, although I admit it can be boring to fight the same person with the same character over and over, I feel like people should do whatever they want with the character- even from the select screen, you're already striking your colors as far as potential strategies go. If someone picks Ryu again and again, a good player should know what to expect after fighting him for several rounds (and a great player will know what to expect before the first round even starts ;P)

But anyway, you have to be able to use any given character at least twice. Since this tournament is open to people of all skill, not everyone can really be expected to play a minimum of 5 characters competitively. At least being able to use a character twice allows for you to have one or two mains and a pinch hitter in case you need them.

Also, Normal Speed is what you're thinking? It can only help my game, so I'm in favor. Heh.

Anyway, think there should be a handy-dandy list of people who are officially "in"? Perhaps give an estimated date/time so people can be more sure of whether they'll be able to get in on it.

Oh, and is this going to be Round-Robin or Elimination style? I know we used to do RR and I guess it seems most fair, but Elimination seems better suited to doing this quickly.

Twice is probably good - I know that I'm going to have issues fighting as not Ken, but so is everyone else.

Round-Robin can be done far more quickly, actually - no stalling, waiting for a round to end - and I can have people join in at anytime before the deadline.

Huh, alright. RR is probably the better choice over all then. Awesome.

this may be a silly question, but where would the tournament take place? VC or emulator or someone's house or what? sorry...

Kaillera, via emulation.

Which reminds me, Kawaks as always, Metz?

Alright, I'm starting it. You have 3.5 weeks from this moment.

EDIT: I've decided on a game: Street Fighter Alpha 3. The last time we did this game, it was a lot of fun, and I figure this is a great one to start with...however, the rules are going to be a little different, in order to make up for inequities in the last set of rules.

To register, please list your AIM screen name in this thread - and contact another player to start playing.

The League Phase is a round-robin - everyone who wishes to join the tournament will be included, but in order for your matches to count (for yourself or your opponents) you must play at least 3 opponents. During the League Phase, winning a match is everything, but the first tiebreaker is MOST losses - you will always be rewarded in some way for winning a match.

The League Phase AND Registration will end on Sunday, October 5th @ 11:59 pm EDT. You may join the tournament on October 5th @ 11:00 pm, and if you play three matches in one hour then your games count.

The Bracket Phase will consist of all players who won a certain given number of matches - at least 3 wins must be achieved, and you must be ranked better than at least half of your opponents...aside from that, I may limit the round more due to tournament size.

The Winner Picks the Next Game (please refrain from a fighting game, but since this is the first time we're redoing this then maybe it's not a big issue).

Match Format: All matches will have the same general format:

Normal Speed

5 Rounds

Slow Timer

Low Damage

Play until one player has won THREE fights - if there happens to be a tie, replay the fight (but two double K.O.'s in a battle are particularly unlikely).

DO NOT USE ONE CHARACTER MORE THAN TWICE. If there is an issue regarding a player choosing a character in round 1, then the player hosting must choose first.

USE KAWAKS 1.59

If you have problems finding the rom or getting hooked up, send me an AIM (metzgerism).

AIM screen names of the players so far:

metzgerism

fiercekashikoi

nncdeathbox

ff3atmaweapon

thesampsons18

eazypinc

ummm...who else?
